Travel Guide Pahalgam

9 265 inhabitants. Altitude: 2 740 m. From May to September, the city welcomes Indians wishing to take the air. There you can walk on foot or on horseback to Baisarn, Dhabyan or to Tulyan Lake. In the summer you can try rafting. In a walk, you will cross the route of the nomads of the Gujjar tribe, who live from transhumance. They take the herds of rich farmers in the Punjab and the northern plains in the mountains. Pahalgam is the classic trekking point, including the Kolahoiou Glacier or Gangabal lake. However, it is not possible to travel between May and June, because the location is distorted by the arrival of tourists and everything that implies (coaches, rabatteurs, litter, etc.). There are many restaurants as well as accommodation. Beware, prices are exploding in the summer.
